Default Installed a tC hitch and bike rack

i bought a hitch and bike rack and got to install it the other day. install was a bit harder that what was on the instructions. the passenger side factory rail had to be drilled out and was a pain to do with very little space. i had to take off my rear underglow since it gets in the way of the hitch but i love it. it doesnt rattle or make any noises. i spent about $85 shipped on the hitch brand new and i bought the bike rack new for $45 shipped off ebay.
here are some pics


i took off that bottem screw thing. it's their so that it wont rattle while driving but it doesnt rattle when drivingso i took off later that day.

^yes, it was cheaper than a roof rack and looks more appealing IMO. cause the thing with roof rack and bike you have to take a tire off the bike and it just looks really like a pain to load a bike on the roof of a car.

i dont own a trailer and if i did i would never tow it with a tC. i only put the hitch on for the purpose of the bikes. i makes life easier. i like to go to central park with my girl and my dog and before it was impossible in the tC now its just so much easier.
